Do you ever feel like your teen is pushing you away — when all you want is to reconnect? In this powerful episode, clinical psychologist, parent coach, and author Dr. Ann-Louise Lockhart joins The Child Psych Podcast to unpack her new book, Love the Teen You Have: A Practical Guide to Transforming Conflict into Connection.
Dr. Lockhart draws from over two decades of experience working with families and her own journey as a mom of two teens to help parents navigate the emotional roller coaster of adolescence with empathy, clarity, and compassion. Together, we explore:
- Why your teen’s pushback is actually a test of safety and trust — not rejection
- How to shift from reacting to responding
- The real meaning of “seeing beyond the behavior”
-Practical tools for rebuilding connection after conflict
Dr. Lockhart’s approach blends psychology, science, and lived experience to empower parents to move from frustration to understanding. Whether you’re raising a tween or a nearly-grown young adult, this conversation will help you see your child — and yourself — through a new lens.
